Right but not having a map might turn a mishap into an ordeal or even  
a search and rescue event.

I'm a big fan of HYOH but I don't have a problem shaming hikers who  
don't carry a map. I wish I had a snickers bar for  every time a map- 
skeptic asked to see my map or answer a map related question.
